Skipped Placebos For One Month-now Period Isn't Starting? Posted: 10-30-07 13:39pm
Ok, I skipped my placebos on my birth
control pack last month, and now I'm on my
new pack of pills and I'm currently taking
the placebos. I started taking them
Saturday and it's Tuesday and my period
hasn't started yet. Should I be worried
about pregnancy? I've never skipped the
placebos before, and my period almost
always starts on my 2nd or 3rd placebo
pill. Any help?
By the way, I take a low-dosage hormone
birth control.

It's possible that skipping the last time
would mess up your cycle. Usually if you
miss two periods, they suggest you take a
pregnancy test, but since you purposely
skipped one I wouldn't be concerned. Wait
a little longer and see what happens
